Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-00900-CR
No. 05-13-00901-CR
JAMES RILEY, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 282nd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F11-40796-S, F11-40798-S
ORDER
By letter dated October 3, 2013, the Court notified the trial court judge that we had not
received the trial court’s certifications of appellant’s right to appeal in these cases. We asked the
trial court to review the records and to file, within ten days, certifications that accurately reflect
the trial court proceedings. To date, we have not received the completed certifications. Texas
Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2 requires the trial court to prepare a certification in every case
in which the defendant is appealing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d), Cortez v. State, 2013 WL
5220904 (Tex. Crim. App. Sept. 18, 2013).
Accordingly, we ORDER the trial court to file, within TEN DAYS of the date of this
order, completed certifications of appellant’s right to appeal that accurately reflect the trial court
proceedings.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Andy Chatham, Presiding Judge, 282nd Judicial District Court, and to counsel for all
parties.
